Description Michael Glass

2007-03-29 18:49:06 EDT

Build ID: I20070323-1616

Steps To Reproduce:
1.  Move the cursor with the keyboard (Arrows / typing letters).
2.  Press either the 'menu' button on the keyboard or shift-f10
3.  The context menu drops down/pops up from the mouse arrow, not the text cursor.


More information:
The context menu should pop up from the last active input device.  If I'm typing and pull up the context menu using the keyboard, the context menu should come from the text cursor.

Moving to SWT because I'm wondering if there is API with which we can do this?

It pops up at the end of the line for me under Micrsoft Word.  Is there a consistent rule?
